Back with a bang (of a bat)!

Post-Easter Catchup
After a well needed Easter break,6CC have hit the ground running, returning to school with an abundance of focus, resilience and a desire to soak up as much valuable learning as they can before their upcoming SATs assessments.

Maths
In Maths, the children have explored 2D and 3D shape, coordinates , translation, symmetry and reflection. Working with new partners as of the beginning of the week, the crew of 6CC has knuckled down and impressively supported each other in every area of learning. Well done guys!

Rounders!
Wednesday afternoon saw the children enjoy the chance to let off some steam with some healthy competition: our inter class rounders tournament not only refreshed the children’s memory of the rules of the game but also saw sportsmanship, respect and great team work. Awesome start to the new PE topic, Year 6!

Hook week is underway!

We love a bit of food tasting here at NJS and what better way to kick off an expedition all about sugar to critique some sugary treats brought in by our staff. And yes, we even had Pink Wafers to gorge on! Yummy.

Investigating nets of cubes

Year 6 have been working extremely hard on shape in maths this week. Today, we have investigated nets of cubes to see how many we could find. We showed excellent teamwork and resilience during this practical task.

A History Of Sugar

21st April 2022Lauren Gate

As part of our new expedition Serious About Sugar, Passionate About People 3LG have been investigating the history of sugar and sweets. Starting in 1538 and going all the way up to modern day we constructed a timeline from the start of the sugar trade to the opening of iconic sweet factories in Doncaster.

And our new expedition is ……..

After a lovely relaxing break, 3HJ have hit the ground running with our new and exciting expedition – ‘Serious about sugar, passionate about people’. During hook week, the children were immersed in all things sugar, completed a scavenger hunt to find our guiding question, looked at the differing sugar content in a wide range of food items and followed the journey of how sugar cane becomes sugar. We are so excited to dig deeper into this expedition and can’t wait to see where expedition lead us.

Easter Fun!

5EG had a little Easter Fun to end the amazing term! The Easter Bunny sneakily hid some yummy eggs around the classrooms!

We have had an amazing term, full of exciting adventures to the Wildlife Park, learning all about the Amazon rainforest, and what we can do to help save it. I for one can’t wait till the next expedition! All will be revealed soon!

🥚🐇 Happy Easter! 🐇🥚

And just like that, another term has finished! It seems like we have only just come back from Christmas! But time flies when you’re having fun and I think that was certainly the case throughout NJS this term and in 4TE too. Our expedition, ‘What A Wonderful World’ was such an informative, relavent and enjoyable topic and gave the children fantastic experiences. To demonstrate this, over the term we filled our displays and corridor outside of the class. The children put great effort into making our environment an engaging place to be and it would be a shame for such effort not to be shared, as shown below! To celebrate the end of this expedition and this term, we had a superb last couple days…

To celebrate the end of this term, 4TE had a very busy last day. First, along side 5RS, we embarked on an Easter Egg Hunt around school. 76 eggs were tucked away for the two classes to work together to forage for. They successfully found all of the eggs and were given an egg each for their detecting skills. Then, we decorated some cookies and biscuits which we had baked yesterday, and following this created more delicious goods in the form of chocolate-covered cornflake buns! Then, later in the day, we once again joined together with 5RS to participate in some board games which had been created by the children of 5RS. We had a great time playing some brilliantly creative games which led us nicely onto the end of the day and also the end of this term. The children deserved such a fun day to commemorate all of their hard work from this term. So to conclude, I hope you all have a lovely Easter and are able to get outside in the sun too. Have a great break and see you soon!
